died, and he married wo nan of Buffalo,
who brought him in dot which ran up in
the hundreds of thousands, He then lived
well and died leaving her fortune which was
quarreled over in the courts upon her death
some years ago.
Frank Pierce was another self-made man
He made good deal at the law, and was
noted for his fonlness for his wife, who was
a preachers daughter. He lived very
plainly at Concord, N H., in a big square
house which came out even with the road
way.
Wheatlands, James Buchanan's residence,
was offered for sale about year ago He
owned it while he was president, and spent
his summer vacations there. When he died
he left it, think to Harriet Lane; at least
the property was owned by her until lately,
If it is not now. 1t is an estate of twenty
two acres, lying mil west of Lancaster,
and giving broad view of the surrounding
country. The house is an old-fashioned,
wide front, two-story brick building 1t has
library on the east wing and kitchen and
laundry on the west. A wide hall runs
through the center, and off of this are the
parlors. Buchanan bought the house Of
William NJ Meridith, who was Zach Tay-
lors secretary OF the treasury, .,nd he paid
Meridith The same pric, for it that 1t had
cost him. Buchanan died bachelor, and
the story is that his beloved quarreled witt
him and died before the fuss was made up.

saved something from bis presidential sal
ary, and when he retired he owned plain
two-story building In Greenville, Tennessee,
which was extravagant neither In furniture
nor architecture.
Gen. Grant had a number Of homes, and
pictures Of nearly all Of them were given in
the papers at the time Of his death. He
owned property In Washington, New York,
at Long Branch, and at Galena, Ills, and an
Of his houses were nicely furnished. He
had nothing at all but his salary as lieuten-
ant in the army when he was married, and
the fortune that he at last left came from his
literary labors during his sickness.
President Hayes still lives at his home at
Fremont, o. His house is a large, two
story one, surrounded by forest trees, and
having wide verandas running around the
greater part of it. II Is in the town of Free
mont, and ought to be a valuable property.
Hayes saved S75, 900 while he was president,
and it has been stated that he paid of all the
debts upon his estate with this money. He
received large amount Of property from
his uncle, Sardis Burchard, and the home in
which he lives was part Of the Burchard
estate.
President Garfsld's home at Mentor Is now
occupied by Mrs Garfield It Is beautiful
place, we'll furnished and comfortable. A
fine farm surrounds It. and It Is considered
one of the prettiest little estates in northern
Ohio. Mrs Garfield also owns a home In
Cleveland, and she retains, l understand, the
residences which her husband owned In Wash
ington when he was member Of congress.
This last Is a very good, square, three-story
brick house upon Franklin park, not far
from John Sherman's residence Its worth,
I should say, $4,000, and Mrs. Garheld's
Cleveland residence is said to be wortl
$4,000.
President Arthur lives in New York. His
number is 23 Lexington avenue, and his house
is a large one of four stories and basement
1t is said that his wife's room in it is kept in
the same condition as when she was alive.
President Arthur loved his wife dearly, and
he has respected her memory as well as any

Mr.. James Wood before the Ithaca In
stitute:
A farmer can stock his land with sheep
at one-third to one-.:alf the est Of any
other of our domestic animals. Tie
capital invested yields Il quicker return
and a larger per cent of profit. There is
less risk of loss by death than with any
other animal; if n steer or colt dies at 3
years old, he is dead loss; sheep at
this age will leave the farmer in his
| debt if it dies. by reason of its wool and
lambs; at year old the sheep has paid
its cost by its wool The flesh of the
sheep commands higher price in the
markets of the world than that of any
| other animal. The statistics of the Lon
| don markets show that for yea mutton
has sold 10 per cent higher than beef.
Year by year the highest price is paid in
the New York market for mutton; it is
more than double to-day the price of the
best beef. 1t is the meat OF the poor
man as well as the rich; Il pound of NUT
ton will go farther in stew with vege-
tables than any other. With the prize
fighter, where the severest demand is

meat used is mutton. Farmers should
